Topic: William Haliburton BELL death (Read 590 times)

I am looking for a death for William Haliburton BELL born 22 Aug 1836 in Forfarshire Scotland,Mother Jane HALIBURTON, Father John BELL. William was a ropemaker

I am also after the death of his wife Ann DALY married 12 Feb 1871 at the RC church Hawthorn (Melbourne) born (possibly) Co Kerry Ireland, her father, Patrick DALY, mother Ellen FOSTER. Anne was a servant. I have their marriage cert.

I am reasonably confidant with the Births of William and Ann and their marriage and their children, but the deaths are eluding me.

The whole extended family seems to have lived and died in Richmond (Melb) but William and Anne just vanish after the last of their kids is born. William seems to have dropped the Haliburton second name which makes it very difficult.

Hi Warncoort.Did you find him on the Dept Of Justice site?I must be doing something wrong, no results for William Haliburton Bell, too many results to display for William Bell. If I refine the search down to the years between the birth of his last child 1879 and 1936 with his fathers name in the results the result is manageable but he isn't there.

SparretWe found lots of childrens goings on, filled up quite a few spouses, children and grandchildren but not a boo about William and Ann. Very strange.

I have been tracking Ann Bells in the 1903 Electoral roll, one in Hawthorn could be her but no William, another in 42 Jeffcott St. with a William but he's a coachbuilder. more Bells at 12 Jeffcott St but not related to my mob.

How likely would it be for a person to go from being a ropemaker, presumably a factory job, to a coachbuilder, almost surely a trade.

I have to give up for now we have NBN and this is so slow and frustrating.
